Horizon Technologies receives BlackFish(TM) order for a NATO fixed-wing maritime surveillance platform. Horizon Technologies is pleased to announce that it has received an order from a NATO Coast Guard for its BlackFish(TM) L-band airborne SIGINT system. The system will be integrated onto a new fixed-wing maritime surveillance aircraft as part of a multi-year programme running through 2027. The total order is valued at approximately £2 Million. BlackFish(TM) is Horizon's latest passive L-band intelligence system designed for fixed-wing and rotary-wing airborne platforms. For maritime agencies and operators, BlackFish(TM) provides enhanced situational awareness to support missions such as combating smuggling, illegal fishing, maritime trafficking, "dark vessel" detection, and other illicit activity. This award represents a significant milestone for Horizon Technologies as it expands its global installed base, and continues to deliver advanced L-band passive intelligence capabilities to governments worldwide. In parallel with this order, Horizon Technologies is pleased to introduce BlackFishNet, a hybrid terrestrial + space L-band monitoring architecture designed for governments that have lost some monitoring capabilities following the transition to Thuraya T4-NGS. In addition to Thuraya, BlackFishNet monitors ISatPro, Iridium and GlobalStar traffic. - Uplink collection from Horizon's Amber(TM) L-band CubeSats, with Amber-2 launching in mid-2026. This combined architecture delivers a unique, scalable, and future-proof L-band strategic monitoring capability. Horizon will be the only provider offering an integrated terrestrial + space solution focused on persistent L-band uplink collection. BlackFishNet is a standalone offering and is not connected to the newly awarded airborne programme. "This BlackFish(TM) order is an important milestone for Horizon Technologies with a new NATO customer and a new platform. It underscores the growing global demand for passive L-band intelligence systems," said John Beckner, CEO of Horizon Technologies. "At the same time, many governments are now facing a significant capability issue following the introduction of the Thuraya T4-NGS system. BlackFishNet, combined with our upcoming Amber(TM) satellite launches, provides a unique hybrid architecture to fill that gap."
The UK business Horizon Technologies is on schedule to launch its Amber-2 Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) satellite in mid-2025, according to a press release.
Horizon Technologies has been awarded a $1.5 million grant by the UK Space Agency as part of the country's wider Amber Phoenix programme.
The UK Space Agency is providing £1.2 million in funding to Horizon Technologies for the launch of a replacement satellite, Amber Phoenix, scheduled for mid-2024.
The U.K. is funding nearly half the cost of replacing the government-backed cubesat that British maritime surveillance venture Horizon Technologies lost in January in Virgin Orbit’s final launch attempt before bankruptcy.
